About.

STAND OUT.

Are you looking to get attention? That’s what Ashley can do for your business or nonprofit.

Ashley’s media design career started in 2010 by designing a simple website for the property management company she then worked for. In 2011, she quit her work as a property manager and began website design freelancing. While working with small companies and nonprofits she saw a need for what businesses have NO time for themselves. Her work flourished from only web design to a wide skill set of graphic design, marketing materials design, menu design, writing press releases and social media strategizing.

To better learn the trade of why and how people communicate, Ashley enrolled in Communication Studies at Appalachian State University and will finish in May of 2018. Her goal is to take her previous design knowledge and her building communication knowledge to help more small business and nonprofits to succeed!

One of the hardest parts of owning a business is attracting new customers. Ashley’s specialized skills can help your company grow your client base and reach new clients, cost effectively.

In addition to these tasks, Ashley creates much of the collateral material the Foundation uses to include flyers, tickets, labels, etc. She is efficient, creative, dedicated and most reliable.
